Long a waypoint in the history of American development and now hard by the pressures of modern suburbia, Fallsington has become.

The village that time forgot

Nestled in the southeastern corner of Pennsylvania, just north of Philadelphia,
at the falls of the Delaware River, the Village had retained its 18th Century
character as a seat of Quaker living, worship, and commerce, until the
early 1950’s. Then development in the adjacent Levittown and
Fairless Hills threatened to end that forever. Historic Fallsington, Inc.
was formed to protect the heritage of the Village.

The three hundred year old Village of Fallsington today represents an
enduring Quaker community and an architectural heritage that is uniquely
American. Today, Meetinghouse Square appears as it did almost 200 years
ago. Historic meeting houses and commercial and residential buildings have
been restored and intrusive development has been stayed. At the same time,
Historic Fallsington is part of the fabric of Lower Bucks County. Fallsington
is a living community of 17th through 20th century homes of varying architectural
styles and a small number of other buildings that represents the march
of time through the last two hundred years. Fallsington is important today
not because it was the site of world-shaking events or the home of famous
people but because it has survived to tell its story.

We urge you to join us. Stand in the Square and gaze at a vista largely
unchanged for scores of years.

Join one of our tours of the buildings preserved and protected by Historic
Fallsington. Observe the graceful way in which this small, unspoiled spot
dovetails with the surrounding communities.
